Abstract: Employers collect a large number of resumes from job portals or from their companys own website. These documents are used for an automated selection of candidates satisfying the requirements and therefore reducing recruitment costs. Various approaches for process documents have already been developed for recruitment. In this paper, we present an approach based on semantic annotation of resumes for an e-recruitment process. The most important task consists of modelling the semantic content of these documents using ontology. The ontology is built taking into account the most significant components of resumes inspired from the structure of EUROPASS CV. This ontology is thereafter used to annotate automatically the resumes.

Keywords: e-recruitment; ontology; semantic web; text analysis; resumes; CVs; curriculum vitae; resume annotation; job portals; corporate websites; electronic recruitment; candidate selection; automated selection; modelling.
